Second memo to Northern Line controller: why on earth do you choose to
run six trains via Charing Cross in ten minutes, with none via Bank? I
was at Kentish Town at 2210 on Friday night, thinking I'd left ample
time to get to London Bridge by 2249.

choice of 2 lines then. Thameslink changing if necessary. However I
know that Thameslink (now run by First Capital Connect) only care about
the passengers past St Albans- they get fast trains every 4 minutes at
peak hours while local passengers have to wait 16 minutes between
trains (at one point 20 minutes).

There's not much of a choice to make. Thameslink trains to London
Bridge don't stop at Kentish Town, so a change is required from
CityMetro to CityFlier, with neither service being particularly
frequent (in fact you'd be waiting on the platform at Kentish Town
until 2231). The trains are also very slow through the central area.
It is, as they say, a no-brainer.
